[comp.sys.mac.misc] Problem with style writer, excel and suitcase

Hi netters,
I got some easy questions for the experts and hackers out there:

1)
Yesterday I ftp-ed the multi-spool, which is a printer spool that run
on multi-finder, I guess.
When I tried it on my si and Style Writer, the program said that
the printer doesn't act as the style writer and asked me to
check the chooser and the port the printer connected to. I have checked
twice (and also try to print without the spooler and it worked), and
do not any clue how to fix the problem.
This program is very very useful for my purpose, so any help will be
greatly appreciated. 

2) When I tried to run Excel 2.2 on my si, it just worked fine until I want
to save and print the worksheet. My brother's Mac Plus also has a same
condition. Is anybody knows why this happen?

3) How can I show only several fonts on Word 4?
   Is there any way to change the default saving file to NOT fast-save mode?

4) I have about 200 tpye I fonts that I ftp-ed from michigan. My question
   is how to get all of the them working without putting all the laserprinter
   fonts on System Folder? I got Suitcase II, but still confused how to
   use it wisely? It would be very nice if I can put all the fonts file
   in another seperate directory and just use Suitcase to access it.

Thanks, waiting desperately your help,


herri.

You can show all fonts or only selected fonts in the Font menu of Word. To 
show all fonts, select the Commands... command under the Edit menu. Select 
the List All Fonts command and click Do It. The Font menu will now show 
all fonts.

To add only specific fonts to the menu, use the Character command in the 
Format menu. Press command-option-+; the cursor turns into a large plus 
sign. Now anything you click will be added to the appropriate menu. Click 
on the font names you wish to add. Hold Shift while clicking to add more 
than one item.

To remove items (e.g. fonts) from a menu, press command-option-- (minus); 
the cursor will become a large minus sign. Using this cursor, select the 
menu item you want to delete.

To control the Fast Save option, I find it most convenient to add it to a 
menu as a command. Select Save As.. from the Edit menu, then press 
command-option-+. Click the Fast Save checkbox with the big plus cursor, 
then click Cancel (unless you really want to do the save). Now look in the 
Edit menu and you'll find the Fast Save Enabled command. Check or uncheck 
this as you wish. it will stay that way until you change it.

Suitcase II will do exactly what you want. Try creating a folder 
(preferably inside your System Folder but it doesn't matter). In it, 
create a normal font suitcase with Font/DA Mover containing the screen 
fonts you downloaded. Then move all the corresponding PostScript font 
files into the same folder. Using Suitcase, open the screen font suitcase. 
Suitcase II will automatically tell the System that it can find the 
matching PostScript files in that folder.
